Men's Health Magazine ranked 100 cities according to their sports-crazed-ness. Now we can all beat our chests and tell each other why it's all wrong.
Wuske: Atlanta, GA #63
Farris/Freddo: Columbus, OH #5
Joel: Cleveland, OH #81
Marcus: Las Vegas, NV #72
Devin/The Kid/Bud: Cincinnati, OH #69
Brian: Charlotte, NC #9
Sanders: Washington DC #38
Tony: Phoenix, AZ #28
Jake: Lexington, KY #15

I had planned on only making the same complaint I have with all of these lists when dealing with Atlanta: they only deal with the teams within the city limits (ignoring UGA) and often only deal with pro sports (ignoring Tech as well). But these may be the most ridiculous rankings of all. Not only do the rankings claim that both Atlanta and Cincinnati are basketball towns, but they actually rank Fremont, California as number one in football, basketball, baseball, NASCAR, and ESPN (whatever that means). As silly as that must seem for the rest of America, I think it is the residents of Fremont who deserve to have the biggest gripe. In spite of top rankings in all of these categories, they were only awarded 22nd overall, apparently because of their low ranking in the "team apparel" category. By the way, Men's Health is also the reason Bud no longer eats at P.F. Changs.
*beats chest*
69!!!!!
Not sure #72 is LOW enough for Vegas. Sure you get your occasional big time boxing/MMA/Sumo Wrestling event. But that's really about it. We have a NASCAR race which, strangely, is very well attended. We seriously are down about 500 people when NASCAR weekend is here. Other than that, zero professional teams, a triple A ball team that has, as long as I've been here, only produced Andre Ethier and Jonathan Broxton, and a pretty good ECHL(?) Hockey team. No way we should be in the top 100.
And how ins Anchorage, AK even on the list?
If nothing else, this post helped us realize that there's at least one other reader of the blog other than Wuske, Farris, and myself. Way to go Marcus.
I really want to know how Freemonters have so much time to attend all three major sports and then go home to watch highlights of the games they just attended. That's a spectacular amount of leisure time.
I would like to know why and the hell Mens Health decided to leave off South Bend?
Because South Bend is for bitches.
